After a successful exit from Dealster.com - a popular, daily deal site I co-founded four years ago - I am currently working on another venture. Optyn is a marketing automation company focused on helping businesses acquire and engage customers.

I've also started and managed businesses for Fortune 500 companies like GE and First Data.

I'm active in Chicago's entrepreneurial/investor communities and I'm a mentor at the Founder Institute.

I am looking to either assist an early stage start-up as an advisor, or become an equity partner in a near or post series A venture.
